Kirsten Dunst in sequin Chanel at the Met Gala: what the hell?

fp_7249225_metgala_ram_62_2
What is Karl Lagerfeld smoking lately? Blake Lively’s Chanel gown was a half toga over a bodysuit with silver applique and Kirsten Dunst showed up in this. This is like Swiss Miss meets Bavarian folk singer without a hint of sexy. I wonder if there could be even more going on with that hideous boxy dress and if someone showed restraint with this design. It’s got stripes, it’s got sequins, it has flowers and it’s off the shoulder but has straps and some gems at the double neckline. All it needs is a ruffle at the bottom.

Kirsten knows she looks like all sorts of hell too, and her expression is like “yeah, what am I going to do about it at this point?” She has on pink lipstick, blue eyeshadow, and took a wave iron to her hair to complete the look.

Also, those witchy shoes are really ugly, and what’s more is that they’re a repeat. They seem to be the same exact shoes she wore to the 2009 Costume Institute Gala, when her dress was still fug, but a little more fashion forward.

    Other than the weird stripe at the bottom and the shoes, I actually like this on her.

  2. whybenice says:

    All she needs is the grapes to crush.

  3. mia girl says:

    Dr Evil strikes again. I swear he is just using his fashion power to inflict humiliation upon these women!

  4. Mei says:

    Like this dress, minus the bottom. Cute and quirky.

  5. Kate says:

    I think you could do some things to this dress and make it really cute, but it isn’t for the Met gala — I’d take off the sleeves for starters.

  6. Fabianne says:

    It’s very Met Gala. The sequined and beaded bodice looks like a lot work. Maybe different hairstyle and shoes would’ve improved the look. Does Chanel decide who wears each dress?

  7. Days after Christmas says:

    I love her shoes! They look like a ton of fun and I actually get a tickle out of celebs repeating shoes, clothes or accessories. I think it’s practical and humble. That said, this dress is all Kiki but the event called for something more formal. In that sense, it’s a fail. If she’d worn this look to a film premiere, it would have been great. Oh Kiki! I think you sorta tried but no cigar, babe.

  8. laura says:

    You are insane, this is beautiful, unique, and not trashy!!

  9. Nikkers says:

    I kinda love the dress. But I’m a sucker for sequins….

  10. Annaloo says:

    The dress is beautiful, but the girl is bloated and looks stoned. Can’t fix that.

  11. original kate says:

    i love this crazy bitch.

  12. holy fug says:

    I’m sorry you guys are joking right? this looks like its straight out of a goodwill bin, like not even goodwill would actually hang it up, they would just put it straight into the “so where do we donate this?” pile. And those shoes?! I don’t even think aniston would wear those circa 1991 jokers…so awful!

  13. brin says:

    I’ve got to book my vacation to the Swiss Alps…thanks for the reminder Kirsten!

  14. lucy2 says:

    Don’t like it, too much going on for me.

  15. Sue says:

    The dress look like it should be on someone who is in thier 60s not someone Kirsten’s age

  16. Sophie says:

    the shoes are horrible but I actually kind of love this dress.

  17. Judy says:

    Ha, I love this dress but would wear different shoes and the dress is made for someone much taller.

  18. beth says:

    er, i kinda like this. i don’t like people showing up to these events in safe designs.

  19. someone says:

    I wondered where my grannys party dress went!!

  20. MollyB says:

    I like it!

  21. serena says:

    lol seems something my grandma would like.

  22. jay says:

    She’d carry the dress better if she’d stand up straight. That slumping shoulders stance makes her look sloppy and disinterested in how she looks. Very messy. The dress itself doesn’t impress, really, but then she wears stuff like this all the time, the mix/match look. Don’t care for it myself.

  23. Marjalane says:

    She looks like Tonya Harding’s less polished younger sister.

  24. Rhiley says:

    She fell off the wagon in to this heap of sh*t.

  25. Nancy says:

    I don’t really like her never have never probably will and that dress is fug.

  26. Maritza says:

    I totally agree with Sue on this one, plus the witch shoes are ugly too. At least she has flawless skin and the makeup looks good.

  27. Solveig says:

    I like the dress, but she can’t pull it off.

  28. Bea says:

    Well, this is Chanel haute couture. So I imagine all this was done by hand? Completely missed the geodes!

  29. dread pirate cuervo says:

    Without the “jewels” & the straps, it might be…ok for a hipster Oktoberfest. The shoes are wretched. But I have a deep hatred of pointy-toe shoes. Almond-toe only for me.

  30. Janna says:

    She’s so not the cute young thing anymore.

  31. mia girl says:

    Honestly, I cannot find the rhyme or the reasoning in this design. Not the whimsy or the irony. Not deconstruction or applification. Not homage or forward thinking. This is just a giant WTF?

    And those are not jewels, those are like blue agate stones on the front of that dress. My kids usually have me buy these from the natural stone kiosk in the mall. I don’t see how this can be haute couture?! They look hideous and low rent on this dress.

  32. jennifer says:

    I actually loved this dress til I got to the 2nd pic and saw the boring Renaissance/full skirt hemline. I still like it alot from the knees up.

  33. gabs says:

    I like the dress, hate the shoes though

  34. lolas says:

    I stood next to her in the bathroom last month, and she looked really thin, and here she looks kind of puffy…? Dress isn’t helping, I suppose.

  35. Melissa says:

    I was liking it before the scroll-down. Should have been above the knee and not flared at the bottom and it would have worked.

  36. skuddles says:

    What a bloated looking babe – looks like Kiki is still hitting the sauce (didn’t she have to do rehab for boozing a few years back?). Can never figure out how this girl ever got to be famous in the first place – she’s not much to look at and her acting is mediocre at best.

  37. Hakura says:

    @Nikkers“I kinda love the dress. But I’m a sucker for sequins….”

    I’m a sparkle-addict myself (my mom calls me ‘dead fish’, because they use ‘shiny’ lures to catch them)… But Ugh. No.

    @Holy Fug“I’m sorry you guys are joking right? this looks like its straight out of a goodwill bin, like not even goodwill would actually hang it up, they would just put it straight into the “so where do we donate this?” pile.”

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so, I was getting worried I was alone, looking at all the positive opinions on this dress. xD

  38. Estella says:

    She could have brushed her hair.

  39. June says:

    It’s Kirsten.

  40. sasa says:

    It would be lovely on someone else and with different styling. I can imagine la Blanchet rocking it with her simple short hair and different shoes.

  41. Kim says:

    Ugly girl, ugly dress. Her hair and makeup- awful! Considering she hasnt really acted in years and got famous for 1 movie – she is definitely D list status.. if that.

  42. gg says:

    I dunno, I love the colors and I love sequins, so I like the dress. The hair, not so much.

  43. YvetteW says:

    Sequins, druzy, cap sleeves, shoulder straps, flowers, all on the same dress! I’d be just as exhausted wearing it as running from the fug thing! What was she thinking?

  44. Trashaddict says:

    I think it would work if it were built a little more like the dress styles in Titanic, it has an almost Victorian look about it. Also if you went to something softer at the bottom, instead of the electric blue sequins. I think the bust is actually pretty and if it was built right, Cate Winslet could carry it off.

  45. jemshoes says:

    Poor Kiki! 🙁 If the dress was longer and if she didn’t have those awkward sleeve-things, it would be a lovely gown (the detailing is exquisite).

  46. Glyrics says:

    I think it’s pretty. Should have had a black tank under. Stop hating!

    Though I agree that Lagerfeld hates women and purposely makes them look bad

  47. Newbie says:

    I wouldn’t want to be next to Giselle wearing that.

    “yeah, what am I going to do about it at this point?”
    Seriously!

  48. wunderkindt says:

    The peices of agate sewn on really cheapens the dress. . . There’s just too much going on with this.

  49. you know what? first time I saw this dress I was like what the???… but in these pictures I see the detailing and it’s really beautiful and I kind of saw what is it about this dress that makes it good. I also saw what is it about this dress that makes it SO bad – it’s that Kirsten can’t WORK IT. bet Diane Krueger would wear the sh-t out of it
